Chapter 432 - What is this word?
Over by Xiawu City's Hall of Mercenaries, Southern Lone Blade's seven-h the available player-sub for help in PvP matter or larceny-related jobs
Lucrative opportunities, like 'looting equipe', were few and far between Southern Lone Blade and his creould often do odds and ends to earn small sums of money, but as more important for them was the accumulation of a client base
Southern Lone Blade's means of business started fro a level of trust and contact with these clients, they would naturally think of hiring theain once a lucrative business opportunity appeared Furtherh this back and forth of small businesses and would then carefully le transaction he had with the a cordial relationshi+p with the clients
While his larceny and murder practice had indeed drawn the et that behind every transaction he ht his service He was nothingthe hilt should not be forgiven for their part as well He had sharpened his dagger to the point of it now being a double-edged knife, withholding his ability to take an eye for an eye Every agreee on you as well
This was how Southern Lone Blade gradually expanded his business network Furthermore, the method to contact hi As for those clients ere already in his friends list, Southern Lone Blade had never once rejected their job requests, and this was because he already had leverage on those people He was convinced that each of them could betray anyone, except for him
These clients were his main source of income But if he hoped for his business to prosper, it naturally row as much as possible He had two methods to achieve this: first was for the major clients to introduce more customers to him, and second was essentially what he and his crew had been doing when he first started out – developing s them into his friends list This entire process was actually also a way for hie
Standing in the Hall of Mercenaries right now, Southern Lone Blade's squad was searching for custoe clients With how their business had originally started out and slowly developed through thisthe potential of their would-be custoue descriptions were often not requested by guilds or groups but by individuals, instead What was i those ere rich; poor players just did not have the necessary funds to become Southern Lone Blade's clients
The seven searched through thewith one another on the channel
As a group, situations where theclient selection still happened from time to time At the ed Clothes, and Blackwater were keen on a particular custo for a particular equipment, while Glue and the other Priest had their eye on soet Paddy Scent Pastures and the Knight Unrivaled Lucky Star were leaning toward a request for aid in a normal quest with a bountiful reward
Once they narrowed it down to these three targets, they noted their relevant information and then moved to leave The seven did not directly accept the mission listed in the Hall of Mercenaries precisely because, as a non-roup, they did not have permission to do so
The fog remained as thick as ever The seven stepped out of the Hall of Mercenaries and inhaled a deep breath of fresh air, as though they had just earned a new lease of life
“Let's begin, then!” Southern Lone Blade took out the list of names that they had just jotted down and said, “Blackwater, you and Flame will contact this Many Nectarinas; Paddy and I will locate this Limp Hands, and the rest of you three can find this… this… Gddmmt, what is this word?”
“Ha ha ha! You're so uncultured!” Since they had finally escaped the hunt for their heads, each was feeling an to joke around with one another Glue mocked Southern Lone Blade as he took the paper and had a look hi, the next person's face also turned green Southern Lone Blade looked over to Flaed Clothes “Just what did you write?” That was the naed Clothes had jotted down
Flaed Clothes had no choice but to confess, “I just copied the depicted character accordingly It's a martian word; even I don't knohat the word is”
“What in the world is this word!” Blackwater raised the paper in the air and squinted, as if hoping the sunlight would give him the ability to understand it
Finally, all seven shook their heads aardly If none of them had any idea ord it was, then they had no means to enter it into their search field Naturally, this meant they would be unable to find this player Southern Lone Blade ended up stuffing that piece of paper back to Flaed Clothes “The three of you will search for Many Nectarinas; the two of you will find someone who can read this martian word”
Before going their separate ways to contact their respective targets, the other two groups revelled in the ed Clothes and Blackwater It turned out that Many Nectarinas and Limp Hands had set their friends list to private – a very coroups left for the ed Clothes clutching onto that piece of paper as they kept exa the word
“Forget about recognizing the word, even if we do know it, how are we going to enter this character into the search field?” Flaed Clothes asked in frustration
“Hoould I know” Blackwater was miffed as well
“Guess we gotta enquire and find out!” Flaed Clothes said
“Look; there's a pretty lady over there” Blackwater pointed toward a certain direction
Aside from larceny, the seven-amer, and they had their interests as well Given how plenty of players would partake in the courtshi+p of the fairer sex, there was of course no lack ofthem
Starting off froed Clothes and Blackwater started walking down the road and pitifully asked the passersby for assistance In the end, not a player they nized the word on the paper; quite a lot of those people threw them looks of conteht for the sake of the job, gritting their teeth as they continued to search for further information behind the word
They walked dohole street, yet the two still had nothing to show for besides being parched fro
“Let's head to a tavern and drink a round or two There're ated there, anyhich gested
“That's true Plus, I believe we need to find the right remedy to our problem This word is far from common, so we need to ask people who are far from the mainstream It wasn't really so,” Flaed Clothes said
“That old coot had no idea but pretended to be knowledgeable Forget about recognizing the word, he even claireed
“Can you even enter Oracle Bone Script characters in this gaed Clothes asked
“I've got no idea” Blackwater shook his head
The two continued on theirplayers that could possibly knownew They were about to reach the tavern; they had not met another player for quite a stretch prior, and the street they were currently on was e such thick fog covering their surroundings, felt uneasy as they traveled
“It's been quite some time since we last saw someone,” Blackwater commented
